Who uses "lame" in 2024? It was so pervasive during the Digg times.

I'm curious enough to continue the conversation, if only because talking about definitions is interesting. So I'm not being confrontational, I actually want to have a discussion.
You say that all soaps are antibacterial because the result in the end is that no bacteria remains on the hands. I see what you're saying there. But anti-bacterial soap kills the bacteria, including the remaining ones that couldn't be removed.
That's like saying that removing a group of humans based on ethnicity from a region, without killing them, amounts to genocide. Would you say that's genocide too?* (And I know the comparison is extreme.)
*I think I read somewhere that forcibly removing people from a region amounts to genocide, though. But you know what I mean...
Mindless negativity has arrived - at least in lemmy.world.
I have some tech-related subscriptions, so I check those out every now and then, but they have few new posts. So when I browse the Popular section, oy...... corporations bad, climate change bad, war bad, economy bad. (Not saying it's not true, I just want a place I can browse and escape all that for five minutes.)
And some users (even mods!) have an "all-or-nothing" attitude too, which is infuriating because they won't drive me away from the cause, but they may drive away others with less patience.
For example, I say "I support the blue color. Now, I wonder, if metallic blue with a purple hue is really a true blue? And how? Trying to learn. Just curious..." and then someone says "YOU JUST OUTED YOURSELF AS A BLUE HATER!!!!!!"
Ok, let's see:
-
The parent posted didn't mention relativity. Just that a planet was moving at a fraction of c, which is a specific amount (let's say, 10,000 km/s)
-
Since the parent poster is talking about the sun, and how such a planet with such velocity could affect it (the sun), then it's easy to assume that the planet is moving quickly relative to the sun itself.
So, the poster's question is equivalent to saying "if a feather collides with my body, it may do nothing. But what if the feather is super-super-super fast?! What would it do to my body??"
Now we're judging articles for quantity instead of quality?
